TRACK CLIP PRO WIRELESS

[jay43]

Right guys this is super easy even for the novice its taken me all day to fathom it out that included taking a board of watching you take stuff apart misses for lunch lol gotta keep em sweet.

 

You need a 5v bat, now as I have hacked many controllers I have spares the ones I have tried that are confirmed as working my end are the one from a PS3 DS3 controller its output is 4.99v stable not sure how long the charge will last which doesn't bother me as I can charge them through the old pcb from the controller which even though its parts have been stripped its still charging happy days.

 

Next DON'T CUT THE WIRE WHILE THE TRACK CLIP PRO IS PLUGGED INTO YOUR COMPUTER did I say that loud enough.

 

You can also now remove the cam from the adapter on that lead and plug the cam direct without the lead you just cut.

 

You will need to keep the plug on the bat unless you know another way to charge it safely I haven't got that far yet.

 

The plug on the bat will take jump wire pins so no probs there just solder the wires from the track clip pro to the ends of your jump wires and slot them into the bat the right way round black to black red to red its as easy as that.

 

Find a way to attach it to your head set or head or where ever you have it for complete wire free playing.

 

The beauty of the bat is its very light weight its not like adding 4 AA's to your head the weight is a fraction of those.

 

I am going to leave it switched on and report back after watching a few movies time now here in the uk is 19:30 lets see how many hours the bat holds its charge for its at 4.99v at the moment.

:megalol: I almost passed out when I read this, but I guess you have to reenforce it!

Thanks for the links guys.

 

Ok just a heads up 14hrs ago I did the above and its still working fine well it still had charge even though it was just below 4v, it appears when the voltage has dropped that low the lights must be weak as the cam picks up movement but its jittery.

So changed bat and still good.

Lol yes I nearly did it as I was testing voltage and was then about to cut when I realised I had plugged it back in again oops.

I could've been wrong here as I forgot to close the curtains damn that sun in the real world messing up my view in the virtual world.

^^^ That is a good possibility if you have back light interference. But be sure you have this battery pack with the on/off switch... The one without the switch will not stay on.

We have been wireless and using the Duracell Charger for over two years...in that time mine has never "died" on me and I sometimes use it 6 hours+ a day.

 

I know the pack will last at least a week with 4-6 hrs/day usage. The TIR5 Proclip uses very little power...and yes a dark room without backlight behind is a must.

As another example I posted a few pics about my wireless 3.7v TCP setup in original thread here http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=98237&highlight=wireless+trackir&page=2
